End to End Performance Initiative
Internet2 Mission
Develop and deploy advanced network applications and technologies, accelerating the creation of tomorrow’s Internet.
Internet2 Accomplishments
A high performance backbone for our members linked to similar networks worldwide
Member development and deployment of applications requiring high performance network
What we have learned
High performance infrastructure is a necessary but not sufficient ingredient of high performance network capability
Our Goal
Ensure that the infrastructure is delivering to its full potential
Enable the researchers, faculty, students and staff who use high performance networks to obtain optimal performance from the current infrastructure on a consistent basis
